The ancient road in the City of David, which was preserved under the ashes of the Roman sack of Jerusalem in 70 CE, was used by pilgrims to ascend from the Siloam Pool to the Second Temple, according to historical descriptions.

According to research published on Tuesday in the Journal of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University , the more than 100 coins found beneath the ancient road prove it must have been completed between 31 and 40 C.E., a period mostly covered by Pilate’s governorship.

Yes, maybe it is “apocrypha” or just other that this has been handed down to us. I know that was said about the wife of Pilate.

It is said Pontius Pilate and his wife both converted.

This has always been my hope!.. Pontius Pilate likely didn’t have all the information. I’d hate to have been in his place.

It is good we’re learning more about him through this discovery.
 
I think his wife was to have been among those women of means who funded Jesus.
